I have lots of music that I like to listen to, and I sometimes want to listen to it while lounging around my living room. The most convenient (and obvious) way to access my music is through my iPod, which houses my entire collection. At the moment, I don't have a way to play my music in the living room (besides busting out my headphones, which I don't always feel like doing).

Does anyone have recommendations for how I might go about doing this? I don't want the music to play through the TV (I'm willing to buy external speakers). A user friendly interface would be beneficial as well (maybe a way to change tracks, volume, etc from the couch?).

What does everyone else do?
